NEW - One Tree Per Child
On Friday we went to the One Tree per Child Tree Planting Day in Shepparton. My dad was one of the organisers and there were lots of people there. We all wore green t shirts. We planted trees with Costa, from Gardening Australia and got knuckles with him.
We learned about our aboriginal culture and the local birthing tree. Planting trees is good for our environment, they provide homes for the animals, keep our air clean, look nice and keep us cool. We had a great day on Friday, getting dirty, meeting a celebrity and having fun in the outdoors.

NEW - Italian - Carnevale
Carnevale is the last celebration before lent begins. Celebrations are held all over Italy from Venice and Milan down to the villages and towns of Sicily. Carnevale typically involves public celebrations, parades, and public street parties. People often dress up with costumes during the celebrations.
Children and adults dress up with traditional and modern masks, and a variety of parties are scheduled in every Italian town, including in schools. There are many parades in each Italian town, which typically are opened by a Carnevale master, and are made of sometimes very elaborate floats, bands, and of course anybody who wants to join in.
Children typically carry around a bag of coloured paper confetti, which they throw at people, or they blow stelle filanti: strings of paper rolled up in circles, which get undone as one blows on them.
What amazing masks our students have made!
